This year, Hanoi was given a maximum quota of 20 candidates for each team of excellent students to compete at the national level. With a total of 13 subjects including math, physics, chemistry, biology, IT, literature, history, geography, English, Japanese, French, Russian and Chinese, the highest number of Hanoi students selected for the national round was 260, equivalent to about 9.1%.

According to the new regulations, each province or city that does not carry out the arrangement or merger can register a maximum of 10 candidates/team/exam subject (except Hanoi which can register twice as many).

The provinces and cities that reorganize administrative units have their own quotas. Ho Chi Minh City has the most quotas with 40 candidates/team/subject. The newly merged provinces from 2-3 old provinces will have 20-30 candidates for each team of each subject.

For example, Tuyen Quang merged from 2 old provinces, Tuyen Quang and Ha Giang , so there is a maximum of 20 candidates/team/exam subject. Ninh Binh merged from 3 old provinces, Ninh Binh, Nam Dinh and Ha Nam, so there is a maximum of 30 candidates/team/exam subject.

Details of the maximum number of candidates for each national excellent student team of each subject in 23 provinces and cities after the merger are as follows:
